Thank you so much for posting this! I used to go to Farmer Bob’s each October as a kid in the late 90s/early 2000s with my mom and sister and absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed their haunted house - I still have very vivid memories of a particularly scary room in that house that had black/white checkered strobe lights flashing all over the floor, walls and ceiling, which both frightened and excited me a lot. I miss Farmer Bob’s greatly but am very glad to have the memories.

Thank you for the video. I only got to visit the Ackermansion once or twice, and I don't think I brought a camera...wait...I did..a disposable, but I don't know what became of it. I noticed in the basement, hanging from the ceiling as you enter, one of the puppets from Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles. Incredible man and collection.

May I use some of your footage for a future project? I will mention the credits in your name. It’s tough to find 49er drive in theatre footage in the internet. Thank you

Said the same jokes for decades

I love this video! I started as a Quickdata programmer in March 1986. I ended up working on the Cable Computer system. I think they renamed the HTU to the Cable Computer. We were migrating the system from the Tandem to the Quickdata. Bob Matthews died not long after and the Cable Computer project was canceled. The only person I really recognized in that group was Tom Presinger who was in CAPS when I started. I think the group was named Cable Games in 86. I remember Jed Bitner, Jeff Bradshaw, Guy Banchero worked in it in the Foxhole. Chuck Clupper gave me an old HTU to put in the Cabledata museum. Sure would like to find it.

A lot going on in CableData at that time. Was an interesting, fun, and stressful period.

hmmm wonderful to see some care put into these signs. i wish they'd kept the hand painted charm of the letters but glad it's lit again. Was always delighted by the simplicity of that sign with the sun/moon orb and what I seem to remember having some hanging oranges painted on the upper right in tribute to the citrus fields that were out there. thanks for making and sharing the video. There were so many great neon signs everywhere that just went into the junk heap and it's so sad. So much design and material wasted. Signs are SO boring now.

Wasn't this on Greenback near Chestnut?

I lived by the SkyView Drive in and saw many movies as Friday or Saturdays were movie nights for my family. The Fruitridge drive-in was also close by. The time: 1960s😊

I was surprised to not see anything about the Fruitridge drive-ins on Stockton Boulevard in Fruitridge.

So much to take in. FJA had an enormous collection.

Went there once ,while in high school, saw Fritz the Cat

Thanks for making the video. I grew up in Fair Oaks and went there many times. In high school in the 1970s, we'd buy beer at the liquor store around the corner at Greenback and Fair Oaks Blvd before going to the drive-in. I also took my wife of 40 years on our first date to the Sunrise Drive-In to see "Rock and Roll High School". Forgettable movie, but I fell madly in love with her. and married her 5 years later

I remember this

Beautiful i cried i lost my father in 2011 he was 91 years old. But to young to go

Ahh this is wonderful. You do great work.

I love love love this. Please find out about the drivein off auburn blvd in ch by old Kmart please

WOW, I just found this video of the Sunrise Drive-in It was done so well and brought back many memories. It is sad it's long gone, but you captured that moment in time. One of my regrets is that I didn't go more often. My kids did get to experience from time to time. I MISS THOSE DAYS. Now I do put up a outside screen and watch movies at night. My screen faces the same direction as the Sunrise screen. I hope I get to share it with my grandkids someday. Thank you for this video. If anyone still has speakers from the drive-in, let me know. I would love one

We hated it being tore down..thank u for the memories. Please go to sac 6 sometime with your grandkids if young. We will hate it closing. My grandson is 21 now took him to see up there we watched twice. He loved grandma and him going.

I do not think so. It is brcause the bathrooms got ran down there. I still love the sacramento 6 on 50. Nice to do the the sound thru the radio was way different. I wish they fixed up sac better again..

I have to add we loved sneaking someone in the trunk in .i am sure others did this too..we would giggle alot

I loved this went there alot with my husband in 69 then we took our kids. And graffiti was so cool. And my daughter and nephew and son to see two scary shows melting man and cat people scared them. Lol i laughted at them So much fun. Then when they were real young the play things playing on them. Sat outside with chairs, blankets and in truck in 65 chevy. Thats so so much for this. My husband was a carpenter doing truss work and built the sac 6 drive in, one on greenback walk in by 80 and the one by cal expo the big round dome.

Thanks BJ for inviting me to the Sunrise Drive Inn to see your fond memories with Cindy and the kids I can almost feel like I was there with you guys the pizza 🍕 was delicious and the soda and pop corn man was out of this world I remember when I use to go there I saw many times movies and enjoyed seeing some of my friends back then you gave me a glimpse of a time when I use to live not far from there many wonderful memories that you gave me I remember the movie the hell house and a few other ones hey I liked your painting inside the snack bar I can smell the hot buttered popcorn and pizzas never forget that well your “ Night at the Sunrise Drive Inn” by the way what happened to the land after it was torn down ?

I went to Coleman but I was not old enough during this school year. I did see one of my older brothers in this video. I do remember many of these great staff members. Even though Coleman is no longer there in name, the campus is still there. The site is going through its second year of remodeling. The preschool closed last year and the campus has been and continues to be the home for the California Montessori Project Orangevale Owls.

Wow, do I envy you. It would have been amazing to meet him and see all these artifacts.

40 years ago. When electronic engineers and graphic designers wore a suit and tie, with expensive shirt and cuff links, to their Silicon Valley type job.

The new office must have been right near the air base with all those little radar buzzes in the audio. Not done watching yet but man, what an ambitious system. Draw rate looks a bit slow.

Correction Bubble gum packs

Thanks for the memories Bj&Cindy for sharing the good times at Capri market with my dad we would talk with Frank and his wife I would go and get the silly putty and the Bible gum I remember seeing Lupe and Jesse Maldonado working in the isles restocking the shelves and Clarance joking with my dad in those days yeah it was fine memories going to Capri market thank you for the pictures and memories of Capri market.

Definitely using this video for family tree school projects🙏🏽🙏🏽

Rest in Peace Frank. You were an amazing grandfather

Perfect soundtrack.

I am in this video very surprise to see this. Didn’t know it was made!

My husband and I love your videos! I was raised in Orangevale and he was raised in Historic Folsom , where we currently reside. We LOVE seeing old footage of our hometowns and can’t wait to see what you upload next!🎉

Thanks for this video I'm a fan and collector of all things of Famous Monsters Of Filmland and Forrest J Ackerman

Another great video BJ! Thank you...

I moved to Orangevale in the 90's. I kind of remember the furniture store...

I remember this like it was yesterday.

Awesome video share thanks I miss Forry ,I never physically met the man but seeing his movie and video appearances readying his timeless FM magazines was enough to tell much about him. Im so glad I was born at the right time to enjoy such a wonderful childhood historical event.
